How Now Brown Rao
Rao is an astronomer-turned-comedian and is increasingly unsure whether he made the right decisions. He ended up working at a prestigious university, and it was not as glamorous as he had hoped.
Join a brown guy trying to get by and laugh at a reluctant academic trying to navigate a world of parking fines and rent rises. All he wants is to cling to the inner child who plays on the swing. Instead, he sends an upsetting amount of emails and does too much math (yuck).
Come, come. It will be a load of fun, and you will even learn a little bit of astronomy along the way. J
